Three Lives Three World Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms July.21
I think it'll be this summer's champion. The drama version just broke most watched C-drama record with 35B views.

KFYoga is destined to make money.
I just didn't expect it to make more than $250M.
Is it because of :
Are you implying the success of XXX due to Deepika?
KFY is typical JC's movie with very very simple plot, action-comedy and diversity of the cast. I think the reason why it had very bad review from Indian critic bc the unbalance of Kung Fu and Yoga (it's like 95% Vs 5%), and Indian is bad guy in this movie. Indian company withdrew their money from this project after a month of filming, that's why they got this unbalancing imo.
Aarif Rahman shines in this movie.

Have you watched Triple X? =) *Is he the villain*? HAHAHA
Yes and *no*. The movie is not bad but not good either. I enjoyed some action though.
I wish he will have better HLW project. He deserves the BEST.

Possible.
BTW, a fan who talked with Donnie Yen in sina fans group of Donnie Yen told me Donnie asked for advice about playing Namor. He doesn’t know much about comic books and the character.

Any update for January 2017?
QuoteChina's box office also recorded a 25 percent year-on-year gain in January
Chow's Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back set a single-day record of $52.5 million (354 million yuan) on Jan. 28, the first day of Chinese New Year. Over the following six days ending Feb. 2, total ticket revenue in China hit $485 million (3.34 billion yuan), compared to 2.96 billion yuan over the equivalent six-day holiday period last year, according to Beijing-based box office monitor EntGroup.

I don't think KFY is gonna make big numbers in India. Indian reviews are already destroying the movie, all critics are giving it 1-2 stars. One even wanted to gave it a 0.5 rating.
Two 1/5 ratings from Hindustan Times (1, 2)
1.5/5 - Indian Express
2/5 - Times of India
2/5 - NDTV
2/5 - Koimoi
Roger Ebert also gave it a 1/4 while giving JTTW2 a 3/4. It's currently also lower than JTTW2 on Douban now that more people are seeing it. One has to wonder how it's getting such a high rating on Maoyan and Gewara when it's regarded as a bad movie everywhere else.
Almost none of Chinese movie did good outside of China. So it's not new. It's bad but it should be very entertaining. If not, it could be like Buddies in India.
If you are not a fan of any cast, I doubt no one wants to watch Chinese movie. Jackie Chan is still the most well-known Chinese actor outside of China. I doubt fan will care much about the rating. Good or bad, his scene still makes everyone laugh tbh.
Just forget how bad it is, let just talking about its box office performance. Most of your comments sound so negative toward KFY tbh. The film is not the only bad CNY released, even the record-breaking JTTW2 didn't have good rating too.

JTTW2 only stay on top for 3 days. WTF! It's so disappointed for a Stephen Chow + Tsui Hark 's film.
With this performance, it won't be the highest movie of the year, probably not even for local.
QuoteJackie Chan-starring Kung Fu Yoga (CFI review here) is on the rise thanks to surprisingly strong word of mouth.
It's understandable that it can take over JTTW2 on its 4th day.

I'm a little bit confused. Who is fudging the box office?
@Olive is more clearer on this matter. I believe it's not Who is but a complicated deal.

Most of films were fudged. You have more than Jackie Chan to hate on.

Another proof of Douban being unreliable: JTTW2 already has more than 3,000 ratings at 12:00 midnight when the movie hasn't screened yet and it has an average rating of 5.7. The other two movies don't have scores yet. Highly suspicious if you ask me.
From CFI
Quoteword on the street from industry insiders who were granted advanced screenings is that the sequel is “disappointing.”

XXX franchise is more... lets say body orientated than other franchises.
He wont win recognition in GA in westerns countries for that, only for the part of the populations focused on that kind of films
E.g. me, older female from Europe, who does also like action wont watch XXX in general for that.
I might for other reasons, but wont find anyone here interested to see a film with story, that franchise is not known for... mindfulness. Not saying that SW is THE mindful franchise (is there even a mindful franchise?), but beside a few over-the-top internet or... reactions (out of those who seem to be against all), SW does have a reputation for being NOT being a mindless action film.
He made an impact in SW R1 for his acting, timing.... too. That will help him in the long run, but not being another (in cliché terms, not my opinion) Asian fighter-actor, see what can happen with XXX.
I hope for him that there will be scenes to show his acting... in XXX and that those scene will be used in the promos, that might help too, as a kind of built up on the foundation of SW R1 impression.
It can be the opposite, an actor only known for such kind of films (mindless action reputation) wont usually even get offered interesting or more generally respected roles.
That is, why I try to watch those films, where an actor tries to get away from typecasting and similar. I am living a bit too far away from a city, so I can not watch as much as I want to.
I guess I do not understand that kind of thinking (to not buy a ticket), but I am not expecting to understand all the different POVs of different cultures and backgrounds, still interesting to learn that. Please do not understand it that way, I tried to show up what the most usual reactions can be only to give a glimpse at another POV/typical reactions/..., not to judge your POV.
12I only mean in China not worldwide. Jiejie, not every fan need to watch all their fav work esp if that work we don't feel comfortable with.

Go watch Rogue One, go support him. Just 1 ticket, really. Support him, if you want him in more Hollywood movies. =)
It is a spin-off, so you don't need to watch the entire series to understand. =) If need be, just watch the first 30minutes of Episode 4 - A New Hope.
Anyway for xXx, *SPOILER ALERT*I feel you, as I always convince my friend/family to watch his movie.
I read somewhere that he plays the villain so it surprised me that it can release in China. Thank for your info.

If you don't even want to support him or watch it on the big screen.... and if many fans feel the same. Wait for it to come online, then how will the box office do well?
Trust me, he has some lines that you can only enjoy fully on the big screen! And you must see the audience reaction when he say those lines, he has arguably the Best Single Line in the entire movie, with the best audience reaction!
PS: Anyway I hope it won't affect his future Hollywood movies... Disney should be smart enough to know that R1 failed because of TFA and almost 0 effort in marketing in China in comparison to TFA (I have internal credible sources to say that, but i can't say it out). It is not Donnie's fault, but I don't know if other studios will know that....
Hope xXx changes that, earns a big deal in China and people know how consistent of a draw he is. =)
3That's what concerned me. It really isn't his fault. I guess they are just like me, too late to watch this series. After all still liked him but not the movie.
Asked for XXX, I'm sure it'll do better. Hope his role as the villain won't affect Chinese.
